[FairfieldLife] Re: The Hebrew Language is The DNA of Creation
H. Heavy shit. So you're saying (maybe) that awareness is the empty, boundless container/void in which all experiences/events occur; while consciousness has structure and so could be thought of as awareness narrowed down to specialised organs? (Henri Bergson argued that consciousness pervades everything, and that our minds worked as a filter that allows through only what is comprehensible to our mental categories.) If you're saying what I think you're saying it sounds like what I'm saying also, but then . . . On the idealism/panpsychism option: does either of those positions appeal to you? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, seerdope@... wrote : Gunna answer these to see if I'm Advaita sharp today. Is awareness dependent upon a (human or otherwise) nervous system? No. Awareness is the water cannot wet it thingy that isn't a thingy. The qualities of a nervous system that are grouped into the label consciousness, determine how much there there is of which to be aware.better nervous systems have more bandwidth and can project much more sophisticated world views. Some nervous systems have not yet been detected -- such as in rocks, but we have it on good authority that rocks will cry out in protest if Jesus' gang isn't allowed to teach on Saturdays. Is awareness the same for all who possess awareness? A bad question. Consciousness cannot make awareness an object, but human consciousness erroneously asserts this none-the-less, and this assertion is a brain-processing EXPERIENCE that is arbitrarily labeled I am, or Being. The contents of consciousness do not indicate awareness any more than the contents of a computer, as it processes, can be said to indicate that awareness is actual -- actual would mean that it can be instrumentally acquired by some material-based tool -- a brain for instance. Do some have more awareness even if the awareness is the same for all? Awareness is not consciousness. Consciousness is necessarily different for every entity that has ever manifested. There are no clones. Every point of view is momentary -- a mere snapshot of the processing in media res. Snapshot is not a good metaphor, though, in that all experiencing is closer to hallucination and projection than it is to having actual input that justifies the differentiation into which the mind deconstructs reality. Does awareness change? Evolve? Devolve? Fluctuate? No, awareness is not a thing. All things have boundaries that are arbitrary. Awareness has no properties -- including the property has no properties. (Thank you, Godel.) Only objects of consciousness can change. DIdi awareness exist before the mergence of homsapiens? (100,000 years or so ago) No. Awareness cannot be said to have a quality such as exists or doesn't exist. Awareness is beyond being and non-being. When the species human was able to transcend is unknown -- but probably not unknowable. Backwards looking DNA studies could zero in on this -- maybe. If so, how far back? I would guess that the recent findings of scratches on a sea shell indicate that some form of ape 500,000 years ago did the artwork. To me, artwork indicates strongly that the consciousness of that entity could be subtle enough to sustain transcendence, but I'm a romantic in this regard. Do plants have awareness of the degree and magnitude (posited) that humans do? No. Awareness is not consciousness -- which is a processing by a nervous system. Consciousness in plants etc. is easily demonstrated. And recent studies indicate all kinds of new ways plants are conscious of their environments. Amazing stuff, actually. Jesus got angry at a fig tree, so it might be that plants are as differing in personality as humans are. Chew on that, eh? Do rocks? To review: if Jesus' gang couldn't preach, it would have been such a catastrophe that the stones on the ground would be spurred to such a frenzy as to acquire in that intense moment the ability to somehow make sounds of agony -- if not actual human language. It is one of the most astounding statements in the Bible. It would be interesting to put some really mean people next to, say, the LHC and yell at it to see if the scatterings differ somehow. Crazy thought, eh? My view: Earth is alive down to the quarks, baby! Could artificial intelligence machines ever become aware? No. Awareness cannot be created -- NOR prevented. It's not something material or even actual by human mind standards. However, I believe that someday there will be (quantum processing level or even string level) an A.I. machine of such subtlety that it perfectly mimics human nervous system dynamics that the consciousness of machine or human would then be indistinguishable. Present-day A.I. is a joke. The true A.I. machines would talk about God just as we do.

The idea that there is an existing physical world independent of our being aware of it is just a concept - a regulating idea that we find useful in discussing the common aspects of our mental pictures and in doing science. But there is no way anyone can prove there's an objective physical world of matter behind the picture. Plato knew that. So did Bishop Berkeley. So did the logical positivists. So do quantum physicists.

An infinite regress. So our bit might just as well be considered the first bit because the initial conditions would be the same and you still won't have explained where the bit he lived in came from.

And what is sound without a medium for it to travel in, and if there was a medium for it to travel in then it isn't the source of creation. That's the trouble with these religious types, they only look as far into something as to have their prejudices confirmed. I'm working on a theory that the opening chapter of Stephen King's The Stand is the foundation of the universe because I happen to think its a great book. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, hepa7@... wrote : The Hebrew Language is The DNA of Creation | | | | | | The Hebrew Language is The DNA of Creation Rabbi Mordechai Kraft important message scroll down ! ! ! important message : for all non jews that watch this video if you want to have a shar... | | |View on www.yout... | Preview by Yahoo | | | #yiv6170923397 #yiv6170923397 -- #yiv6170923397ygrp-mkp {border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:10px 0;padding:0 10px;}#yiv6170923397 #yiv6170923397ygrp-mkp hr {border:1px solid #d8d8d8;}#yiv6170923397 #yiv6170923397ygrp-mkp #yiv6170923397hd {color:#628c2a;font-size:85%;font-weight:700;line-height:122%;margin:10px 0;}#yiv6170923397 #yiv6170923397ygrp-mkp #yiv6170923397ads {margin-bottom:10px;}#yiv6170923397 #yiv6170923397ygrp-mkp .yiv6170923397ad {padding:0 0;}#yiv6170923397 #yiv6170923397ygrp-mkp .yiv6170923397ad p {margin:0;}#yiv6170923397

But suppose the universe started every 0.0004533327790102 nanosecond? Or suppose when it began there was no before but once it began, it had a past that duped us into thinking there was something before it began?

ABBRACADABRA. That means, Yahweh created as he spoke.: Aleister Crowley replaced the 'C' in Abracadabra with an 'H. So: Abrahadabra. Crowley explains in his essay Gematria that he changed the magick word to include 'H' because of qabalistic methods. Crowley, described it as the Word of the Aeon, which signifieth The Great Work accomplished. See? Abracadabra is so old hat.

salyavin,so one question might be: what gives rise to something infinitely dense and infinitely hot? What's the simplest answer to that? Would a single wobbly electron do that? Maybe there's a moment in quantum tunneling that gives rise to that heat and density. And I wonder what is symmetry in the context of the Uncertainty Principle. Is there a nanosecond (you can tell I'm fond of those!) where it is both a wave and a particle? Or neither?

God, I hate shit like this. This way madness lies. If you play around with this Gematria nonsense (assigning numerical values to words hoping that words with the same numerical values have a relationship to each other) you can prove anything you want. It all depends on your own ingenuity.
